Seachem Neoplex 10g

Seachem Neoplex

Seachem Neoplex is a broad-spectrum antibiotic for marine and freshwater fish, formulated for treating most external infections. It is suitable for aquarists treating bacterial and fungal infections while aiming to minimise impact on the aquarium bio-filter.

Key Benefits

• Broad-spectrum antibiotic containing neomycin sulfate.
• For use in both freshwater and marine aquariums.
• Used as directed, it does not discolour aquarium water or damage the filter bed.
• Can be dosed directly into aquarium water for external bacterial infections.
• Can be mixed with food for internal bacterial infections.
• Does not linger in the substrate or filter media after treatment.

How to Use

Before dosing in water, remove all invertebrates, switch off UV and ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration such as MatrixCarbon™ and Purigen™. Invertebrates are extremely sensitive to medication. Delicate species may be stressed.

Dosage

• Dosing in water: Use 1 included measure per 8 L (2 US gallons). Repeat every 7 days for a maximum of 3 weeks.
• Dosing in food: Mix 1 scoop NeoPlex™, 1 scoop Focus™, 1 tbsp food, preferably pellets or frozen food, and a few drops of water when using dry food. Feed the medicated food daily until the infection clears, or for up to 1 week.
• Medicated food may be refrigerated or frozen between feedings. GarlicGuard™ or Entice™ may be used to enhance palatability.

Compatibility

After the treatment period, NeoPlex™ can be removed with activated filter carbon such as MatrixCarbon™. Remove the medication with carbon before switching UV filtration back on.
